MOTOGP » Suzuki 'delighted' with Bautista MotoGP debut

i.e. "we're delighted we doped him into thinking we're giving him a bike that's any good"

Either that or they mean "they are delighted he decided to turn-up at all!"

The way he finished the year in 250's he might actually be glad to be there. A year ago I would have said that he was the hottest property in the 250 class. Not sure if Aoyama and Barbera just caught up or? Just didnt look as smooth this season. Best of luck to him. He's gonna need it.

Very funny Raw.
Was think along the same lines.
Seems to be everybody's happy at Suzuki.
Ofcourse we hope the best for him and keeps on enjoying a great time overthere. No doubt he will get a lot media-attention for them when he pulls his freaky accidents.

His performances this year started to go downhil badly just after he had signed for Suzuki, coincidence?

Really hope Suzuki don't run his career into mediocrity!

suzuki have always gone well in testing after the races are over when the 2010 season starts put them both on a bandit,then they really will have an excuse might even do better.

Why the hell is Suzuki here testing a fairing?

Alvaro is a good rider why Suzuki ?

Welcome to the back of the pack Bautista.

By the end of the year you won't have beaten the times on aprilia not even once.

There is an article on Superbikeplanet called "Valencia MotoGP Test Quote Machine Day One". In the last sentence they say

"A quick 'thank-you' is also due to our new technical partner Akrapovic, who are working so hard to help us and already in the first test with their systems we have found a good step forward in power delivery."

Can it be? The long history with Yoshimura done for? I havent seen any pics yet but this is huge for Suzuki to part with Yosh.
